Default Oil leak,suspected due to boost?

Im look for advice from anyone who can shed some light of my oil leak,the car is boosted and running 16psi and had been for a year or so,its an f20c,i think it may be coming from the oil filer(oil relocation kit) fitting on the block, or potientially from the crack seal? The front of the block doesnt show any clear signs or a leak.

My question is,had anybody had any issues due to seal being pushed out because of the pressure

Thanks

Wipe down your oil feed line, drain, and all the fittings. Also clean up all the lines and fittings for your relocation.

Start the car up, maybe with a buddy, and keep a flashlight on all the lines and try to see if you can tell where oil starts to seep through/collect.

When/how is it burning oil? Do you see a puddle when it's left overnight? Does it lose oil/drip while idling? Does the car/exhaust smoke on startup, or while in boost?

Also, do you have a catch can? If you can't see any leaks first hand then it's possible that your engine is burning oil internally, but more information would be helpful as to when you're noticing the oil being lost, and how much.
